Was Olivia hearing this right? The one man in Indian Lake she'd found truly intriguing since, well, forever—the hopelessly handsome heir to the region's most successful farming operation, Rafe Barzonni—was involved in horse racing? That made him, and her sudden attraction, downright dangerous. He wasn't just out of her league. He was a gambler. Like her father. With the shame of her father's racetrack betting addiction still haunting her, Olivia can't be part of that world. Rafe's world. She can't trust him, or his magnetism. But there's something deep in his incredible blue eyes that keeps drawing her closer…

SNAPSHOT OF HORSES AND TRAINING TRACK.

Rafe’s track to train his horse is on his farm. He
and his father built the track to the exact specifications at Churchill Downs
in Lexington, Kentucky. It is a place of tranquility, beauty and where dreams
are spun. Olivia is drawn to it nearly as much as she is to Rafe, though the
thought of gambling on horses terrifies her.
Rafe is the one man she wants and the one she knows she can never spend
her life with.

The horses. How she loves the horses!!!

The horse is the most beautiful and graceful of animals.
No wonder the ancients thought horses could sprout wings and fly to the stars.

Majestic and powerful. So is Rafe’s love for Olivia,
but she only wants to put distance –lots of it—between them.
